What is "shepperdine"

Shepperdine is a rural land forming the north of Oldbury-on-Severn in South Gloucestershire, England, with a border with Stroud (district). It comprises farms and a scarcely populated hamlet.

The land lies wholly on the river's flood plain, although has remained largely unflooded since the 18th and 19th century barraging and canalisation of much the River Severn, enabling cultivation and pasture in lower parts of Gloucestershire to be continued without interruption.
